"TERRITORIAL SPIRITS" Part 2 "ISRAEL, THE MIDDLE EAST, AND TERRITORIAL SPIRITS" PASTOR ROGER LUCERO

JUST AS ANGELS OF GOD ARE SENT ON ASSIGNMENTS BY GOD, TERRITORIAL DEMON SPIRITS ARE SENT ON ASSIGNMENTS BY SATAN. THE PRIMARY ASSIGNMENTS OF THESE TERRITORIAL SPIRITS ARE ON SPECIFIC OR TARGETED GEOGRAPHICAL, POLITICAL OR SPIRITUAL AREAS OF LIFE. With this in mind, we are reminded once again that Territorial Spirits patrol the earth looking for any person, group, or nation who pose a threat to the kingdom of darkness. For example, territorial demon spirits tried to stop Israel from becoming a nation once again on May 14 of 1948 after over 2,000 Years of being dispersed throughout the world, but they could not succeed because of the eternal plan of God for Israel. THE ON-GOING CONFLICT IN THE MIDDLE EAST BETWEEN ISRAEL AND MANY OF HER ARAB NEIGHBORS IS MUCH MORE THAN JUST A CONFLICT BETWEEN ISRAEL AND OTHER NATIONS. IT IS AN ON-GOING CONFLICT BETWEEN ISRAEL AND THE TERRITORIAL SPIRITS OF DARKNESS. ONE OF THE MAIN REASONS WHY TERRITORIAL SPIRITS HATE THE NATION AND THE PEOPLE OF ISRAEL, IS BECAUSE OF THE LAND IT NOW POSSESSES. And yet, in Genesis 15:18, God said to the Israelites - to the descendants of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob - "I give YOU this land." LAND (Heb. 'erets / eh'-rets): This part of the earth; This territory. WHENEVER GOD SAID TO ISRAEL "I GIVE YOU THIS LAND," it also means, "I GIVE YOU THIS TERRITORY." IT'S THE ONLY TERRITORY IN THE MIDDLE EAST (AND IN THE WORLD) THAT IS STANDING IN THE WAY OF SATAN'S FINAL ASSAULT ON AMERICA. God also told the nation of Israel in Exodus 34:24 "I will drive out nations before you and enlarge your territory." The KJV says "I WILL ENLARGE YOUR BORDERS." FOR THIS REASON, AND MORE, ISRAEL HAS HAD MORE ENEMIES THAN ANY OTHER NATION IN THE HISTORY OF THE WORLD. To the Jewish people, it's not just about their land. It's about their GOD-GIVEN INHERITANCE. This is how we know that there are territorial enemy spirits sent by the devil to rob Israel of their God-given LAND - their God-given INHERITANCE. The application for us personally? Territorial Spirits would like to rob you of your God-given inheritance. And so, we continue to fight the good fight of faith.
